Sure. I can put that in here. Give me some time; I'm having a busy day at work today.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
ehunyadi,

I forgot about this thread, but you may want to see my thread up higher about a site I found which offers a .pdf of the Advent Vega manual and some software for those capable of working with it.

The manual explains operation of much of the ROM interface.

Oops, I had the link in memory and so I just pasted it in for you to look at.

I'd like to know/see in the faq what in the SDCARD folder is safe to delete

or how to do a complete wipe

and: Where do my installed applications go?
[G Tablet General] comhack:
Thanks a lot for the FAQ Ehunyadi

You guys rock!!!
[G Tablet General] hitekredneck:
OK, I am a n00b to the Gtab scene. I do read the first post 99.9% of the time, but when the first post leads me to an incorrect first post about how to install, I must make mention of that fact. The first post mentioned does not have any instructions for installing. Is there a step by step tutorial for this to be found?

TIA ..... HTR
[G Tablet General] comhack:
I see you added the link to the default wallpaper without the branding but what is the location of the default Vegan wallpaper or at least a link to it? I changed my wallpaper and now would like to revert but do not know the location. Thanks a lot.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Once you change it from the default, there's no known way to go back right now.

Edited to add: You can always use the image an image that is identical to what VEGAn-TAB comes with stock, but this has to be downloaded and selected from gallery/filesystem vs going back to the default wallpaper.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Good point; I'll fix that link.

As for a step-by-step, you can view THIS VIDEO that takes you through the steps of installing with Clockworkmod. Ignore the fact that it already has an OS on the G-Tab; you can do this with a fresh install as well.

Also, see THIS THREAD for step-by-step instructions. I'll fix the first post in the thread to reflect the change.
[G Tablet General] comhack:
Here is the default Vegan wallpaper:

Thanks Trist-Wolf!!!
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Updated to encompass ALL ROM flavors. If one is missing, or if you have useful information that you would like to see in the FAQ, please post or PM me directly.
[G Tablet General] avrobob:
Thanks guys!!

I am a total noob to all this Modding, but wanted to chime in a huge thanks to everyone helping on this site! I managed to get TNT 2.2 running with all the fixes, and love my gtab now. Thanks guys for all the work you do. Happy Holidays to ALL!!!!!
[G Tablet General] iammuze:
I can confirm that the same keyboard/mouse support in vega exists in cm6.1b4
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Awesome; I will add this info to the FAQ. Thanks for posting it.
[G Tablet General] oldturtle:
Great FAQ. It would be even nicer to add links to all ROM version threads to the top of first post, so that those threads don't have to be pinned.
[G Tablet General] nataluna:
I have tried two of what I would consider normal windows usb keyboards with the TnT lite and they work fine. I was told by a silly person at bestbuy that you needed an android keyboard to plug into an android tablet. Happily I didn't believe him, so I went home and tried dh's keyboard :D and just bought a smaller one for myself cos my old one wasn't usb.

Do you want the brandnames and model numbers of them or something?
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Sure; that would be helpful!
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Done. :) I added them last night.
[G Tablet General] Virtual Pariah:
Please add in how to do a data wipe.

It's mentioned quite a bit, but I don't know how to do it.

Done. Also added gTablet Recovery Firmware Images (Official Viewsonic Images) Courtesy of Roebeet (taken from his post in this forum) as well as additional info about clearing cache.

[G Tablet General] fuze1:
Is it possible to go from 2.2.1 to 3.1.2?

First, big thanks to all the people working on all of the XDA roms! This site rocks! I'm new to modding, so please excuse my ignorance. I'm running TnTLite 2.2.1 on my GTab. Is it possible to go from 2.2.1 to 3.1.2? Or do I upgrade to 3.0 and then install each supplement sequentially?
[G Tablet General] dalrym05:
If I am running the stock tnt firmware with the enhancement pack can I installed the supplement from 3.1.1 and on? Or do I need to flash to the tntlite Rom?
[G Tablet General] dalrym05:
I guess noonday reads this section oh well I keep getting weird problems with the stock tent and enhancement pack goin to vegan again
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
To run the 3.1.1 and on supplement packs you need to install TnT lite 3. They are made for the TnT Lite build
[G Tablet General] ksporry:
So what updates, kernels, enhancements etc go together with what ROMs?

currently I'm running TnT Lite 2.4.1, which seems to be going fine. I'd like to update it to a new ROM, but not sure if that actually brings me any benefits. E.g. what's the benefit of using TnT3.1.4 over 2.4.1?

Also, how would the VEGAn beta 5.1 compare to the 3.1.4?

Same question for the CryogenMod 6.1

Now I saw some posts on kernel updates, patches and what not:

What's this kernel patch doing, and would it work with any of the ROMs I identified above? Would any of the ROMs have this included? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903505

Then there's the TnT stock patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885940

What does this one do over TnT 3.1.4?

This link includes some text that need some explaining to me:

QUOTE:

Downloads:

Stock TnT 3389: http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/...-3389-user.zip (Only needed if you are not already on stock 3389)

TnT Enhancement Pack v3.1.4b: http://www.multiupload.com/ZS38DYEPFO

Generic Enhancement Pack v1: http://www.multiupload.com/6IFY1JDSJQ (gapps, quadrant boost for 3452 or any new TnT update, no gsensor fix)

******************

v3.1.4b:

Includes TnT Lite 3.1.4 patch changes(gsensor fix for games)

No longer includes boot.img in update, watch here for custom kernels/boot.img support

Versioning changed to reflect equivalent TnT Lite build

b) Fixes gsensor fix

UNQUOTE

So it seems to include 3 downloads needed for this to work: stock 3389 ROM, 3.1.4b update, and an enhancement pack. So this seems to be all needed for getting a full 3.1.4b patched TnT ROM, correct?

Then, hat is the statement on custom kernels/boot.img support about? WHat does this boot.img do?

Finally, when I have done all these updates, would the new market update work fully? (I read many people have graphics problems with the new market on the TnT 3.1.4 flash)

Thanks for any clarifications that can be given!
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:

[G Tablet General] enigma0456:
A chance for a second G-tab on Woot yesterday was to good to pass up. Now I can really begin experimenting! I plan to compile the information from all the various links I've found here into a single "instruction manual" for myself. If it works out, I'll pdf it and post it for others. I see that there is a lot of information here but one thing that I haven't been able to clarify is the relationship of code on the sd card. Let me try to explain my question using a PC. If I went to the store and bought a new PC it would come loaded with Windows in an ntfs partition. There is a bios installed by the manufacturer to boot the machine. After that there are applications loaded on top of Windows. If I wanted to load Ubuntu on the machine I would ultimately wipe the disk, re-partition the drive then install linux and load applications into linux. I'm trying to understand the same thing on the gtab. It looks like clockwork-mod gets installed sort of before the boot loader or as an alternative so you can manipulate things before the OS loads? The linux like stuff I see on the SD card - is that the android os itself? What does changing the kernel change? Not all of it right? Then the ROM - can I think of that as an application that is sitting on top of the android (linux) partition - perhaps analogous to X on a linux box? Finally, If I wanted to build everything from scratch - could I completely wipe the sd card (an if so how) and then what would I have to load to build it up again? Somehow you would have to partition and then get an operating system on there before you could load anything else I think but are there instructions here that I'm not recognizing as such? Sorry to be so long winded but for me anyway, it is hard to tinker with something when I don't understand the fundamental structure. Any comments would be appreciated.
[G Tablet General] mpguy84:
Any way you can put a section like:

Think your Gtab is Bricked? Think again! Try this first, then ask questions later!

NVRAM = your best friend

(insert link to apx driver download link)

1.) If the power is on and it has any kind of screen frozen, hold down the power key for more than 8-10 seconds. If you think you held it long enough and its still on keep holding or let go and push it again and keep holding

2.) Insert the mini USB cord while the tablet is off and then Hold POWER + VOL DOWN until you hear your computer give an audible tone or it starts installing the APX driver.

3.) Point the "Cannot find driver" window to the downloaded driver above and it will install the driver needed for nvram to work, **NOTE: THIS WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT APX DRIVER SO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT WORKING CORRECTLY BEFORE TRYING TO NVRAM**

4.) Download (LINK TO NVRAM) and (LINK TO THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF NVRAM RESTORES). Once those are downloaded, extract all files into one folder and run the batch NVRAM.BAT file and watch as your GTAB comes back to life.

Or something.. lol thanks

[G Tablet General] SoNic67:
For market to work completly, I had to apply TWICE the procedure described in the "Market Fix" thread.

Now... you don't need CWM if you stick to the TnT Lite 4.4...

Now that you mess it up, bring it back to stock (it is a zip file around here with 3588) and then directly with TnT Lite (but you might not find it here anymore, due to recent squabbles).

All you need is to copy those files on the root of the tablet using the USB cable provided - my Win7 x64 recognized the tablet automatically.

Now I have both Kindle and nook readers on my tablet.

[G Tablet General] Skyyblue:
Basic Question...

So I installed the TNT Lite 4.4 without issue. Everything works great. Just one question about a change I have noticed.

All of the wallpaper is stretched or really BIG (not blurry, not same as the issue others have mentioned) as if the TNT lite is not aware of the g tablets resolution. I have also added my own images from my computer and they also appear "zoomed in".

Is there a workaround for this or a way to get the resolution match corrected? I read about people resizing images and what not. But even the default android wallpaper that comes with tnt is stretched which does not seem natural.

Yes I know TNT is now retired. Just curious if anyone else has dealt with this and if they have a simple fix.
[G Tablet General] GoinEasy9:
@skyyblue I also have TnT Lite v4.4 and I'm using the live leaves and water wallpaper (don't know exact title), but I have no problem with background looking stretched. I would just try some other backgrounds and see how they look. I haven't seen any other complaints about stretched backgrounds ... i'll keep my eyes open.
[G Tablet General] usarmyaircav:
Whats the difference?

Can someone give me a run down on the differences between

VEGANtab Ginger Edition

Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread - RC2

CM7 Official Harmony - 7.0.0

I started with the VEGANtab, and tried CM7 but it seemed rather the same but with phone stuff still in there.
[G Tablet General] Skyyblue:
Thanks for the reply :).

Actually all the live wallpapers work fine but I usually don't run those because they take up to much battery.

I am referring to the regular wallpapers...

Example: There is like a standard picture of a cheetah or something on there, you can see the whole cheetahs head and lower right arm when previewing which wallpaper to choose; but when you actually apply the wallpaper all you see is the zoomed in head of the leopard and on mine its everything from an inch above his nose on up...

This also happens when I apply my own image from the gallery.

Example images:

Preview

Applied

Live wallpaper works fine

Very helpful. Thanks!
[G Tablet General] TMYINC:
CM7 is usually a baseline for other roms. Devs build there roms either from ASOP or CM source. I could be rom but I think Vegan is based off of CM7 but with there own tweaks and such. Vanilla ASOP appears just to be based of off Gingerbread ASOP to be a general rom without all of the bells and whistles in order to be more stable. Just my thought on it as I said, I could be wrong. Dont hurt me if I am lol.
[G Tablet General] grivad:
The norm for determining wallpaper size for Android devices has always been 2xWidth by Height (when in Portrait view) saved in .png format, so in the case of the gTablet, the "proper" resolution for wallpapers is 1200 x 1024.

Give it a try. You will be pleased.
[G Tablet General] apxn82:
After trying a few ROM, most of them really didn't do it for me. Until I finally read it through and gave VeganTab GingerEdition a final tried and man I'm loving it right now. It's smooth and crystal. Loving it. Thanks to all the DEV.
[G Tablet General] supergroverthm:
Agree... Everytime I've tried CM7 it messes up my CWM Recovery option and I have to use NVFlash.

Try it with clemsyn underclock/overclock/undervolt kernel, it's great. Don't recommend pimpmygtab.apk as both times I've tried to use it, it softbricked my gTablet. Use cpumaster free from android market.

I have a gtab running gharmony's latest. I see posts with people who are using the malata dock (which I have) I can only seem to charge the device with the dock. I also have several bluetooth GPS's and would like to connect it to the gtab. I have seen posts from people who have successfully done this. I have used the search and only find posts about success, but no explainations on HOW to accomplish these operations. Could anyone who has done this please post a step by step on how to use the dock and how to pair a bluetooth GPS. I will save my questions about how to use the ext SD card properly for later.

Hey guys :)

im thinking about buying a gtablet but(here starts the list of my concerns ;)):

this: http://www.viewsoniceurope.com/de/products/viewpad/viewpad-10s.htm is the tablet that is available in my region(germany), and i would prefer buying it here because of the 14 days free return thing ...

the specifications look the same and i was wondering if it is actually the same (and if the procedures as mentioned in this thread could be used to root/mod etc.)?

has anyone tried this?

looks like this tablet is great but sucks with stock software ...

something that you may want to add to the FAQ

This really an excellent faq and an excellent forum in general.

I an a newbie who bought a gtablet and suffered with the stock rom until I finally couldn't take anymore. So now I need to root the tablet and then flash a ROM. I do have some questions though. I am not asking for a short cut to reading because I don't feel it is right that just because I am too lazy to read up on things means that someone has to trouble themselves with taking the time to answer me.

However, I looked through the entire FAQ and I did not find it (although I am sure it is somewhere on this website) I would like to request that someone please provide a link to two things:

1. A list of the pros and cons for each ROM as I personally have no idea why one is better than the other.

2. A step by step guide to doing this with definitions of things like "rooting" and "flashing" and ROMs for people who are completely clueless.

I myself don't need #2 but I can use #1 but I am asking for others as well as myself as it does not appear to be easily findable.

Edit I am aware of the thread that posts videos of each one. What I am talking about though is some sort of a chart where we can just read the advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks again
[G Tablet General] gtab_11:
check it CyanogenMod 7(7.0.3-Harmony) or VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1?!?!?!

It looks like a lot of ROMs use CM7 library (Android 2.3) and have only cosmetic changes but TNT is based on original firmware (Android 2.2).

So TNT should support all hardware stuff the same way as original one.

Am I right?
